How to Check Tire Pressure on Your S Class

1
Check when tires are cold
Wait at least 3 hours after driving or check in the morning before use.
2
Remove valve cap
Unscrew the cap from the tire valve stem and keep it in a safe place.
3
Use a tire pressure gauge
Press the gauge firmly onto the valve stem to get a reading.
4
Add or release air as needed
Match the pressure to your S Class's recommended specification above.

Temperature Note: Tire pressure can change by about 1 PSI for every 10°F temperature change. In winter, you may need to add air more frequently. In summer, avoid over-inflation.
